For your arrows have sunk into me,
and your hand has pressed down on me.(A)

There is no soundness in my body
because of your indignation;
there is no health[a] in my bones
because of my sin.(B)
For my iniquities have flooded over my head;
they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.(C)

    there is no soundness in my bones(C) because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed(D) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(E)
